Wow.  Best one yet, by far... 

Mason Fine is the North Texas story at its most inspirational.  He is verbalizing that dream that so many UNT students have to make something big happen with their lives, to overcome defeats in life and to make the most out of second chances.  

I felt something deep in my gut watching this that makes me so proud of my fellow alums that did what they needed to do, put in the work to be something or do something big.  

I talk to these kinds of people all the time when I'm at alumni functions, or at games, people that amaze me with their courage, fortitude and desire.  They chose UNT and never looked back, never apologized, never complained.  They put in the hard work and achieved impressive results in too many fields and endeavors  to even count.

This story tops them all in my book, so proud!

Who's been cutting up onions in here??

I'm part Irish and Scottish so yes, the "onions were being cut" near my desktop especially toward the end of that video with Fine's mom 
& dad on their living room sofa.

What a story Mason Fine is and all who raised & knew him growing up.  Already posted that video on my Facebook page--I hope others will do the same. 

What a story this Mean Green football team is becoming, too.   It's takes a team to do it all. 

GMG!

Wow, that was a great one.  We are proud at UNT to have him here.  He is a leader and example for others to follow.  His parents did a great job rasing him.   Glad his parents took the time to help reach towards his goals.  Next goal for him is a big win at Pigville.  I wonder if we will ever see another Mason Fine at UNT.

Please pardon me for using my son’s log on, but I got tossed a couple of years ago during the furor that arose when Littrell burned Mason’s redshirt and started him ahead of that Bama guy. 

I said then that UNT will be better not just because Mason is a great QB, but because of the human being he is. I’m thrilled for him and your university that things are working out. People will still be talking about Mason Fine and UNT 25 years from now. All because of the person he is.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/12/25)

      Get your rears to The Pit tomorrow! The ladies have a difficult opponent to face coming off their failed comeback in New Orleans the other night. South Florida is 11-6 but tied for a league-best 4-0 in AAC play. They were picked to win the conference last year but we beat them in our one meeting in Tampa. USF absolutely crushed Wichita State the other night in Kansas: 72-46. Tickets: https://meangreensports.evenue.net/event/WB24/WB10
